I have a turtlebot on a standard netbook running kinetic. I have a Ubuntu 18.04 server running melodic. They work fine together so far, as I can generate maps and autonomously navigate to points on the map and I can use teleop etc.

I have in my melodic remote server these repositories which I brought into my src folder to ensure I had everything for turtlebot2:

turtlebot_interactions
kobuki_description
turtlebot
turtlebot_simulator

I am now trying to run this tutorial

When I execute the python script go_to_specific_point_on_map.py, this is the result:

robotics@robots:~/catkin_melodic_turtlebot_ws/src/myscripts/scripts$ python go_to_specific_point_on_map.py 
[INFO] [1559767968.012835]: Wait for the action server to come up
[INFO] [1559767968.144004]: Go to (1, 2) pose
[INFO] [1559768011.101074]: The base failed to reach the desired pose
[ERROR] [1559768011.219442]: Received comm state PREEMPTING when in simple state DONE with SimpleActionClient in NS /move_base
[INFO] [1559768012.109831]: Stop

The Received comm state PREEMPTING when in simple state DONE with SimpleActionClient in NS /move_base is in red.

The robot does not move to the location specified.

I am not sure what this means and have not been able to find the answer.
